How it works

1

Get the 15-Day FREE Trial

Use a full featured version of Analytic Solver software (with model/data size limits, enough for all examples) for 15 days, free of charge.

2

Only pay for the features you use!

Upgrade - and pay for - just the Analytic Solver features you need (data mining, simulation, or optimization) to full commercial model/data size and speed. You'll still be able to learn and run examples using all the other features!

Combine Optimization and Simulation to Make Even Better Decisions

Optimization helps you make better choices when you
have all the data, and simulation helps you understand the possible outcomes when you don’t. Analytic Solver enables
you to combine these analytic methods, so you can make better choices for decisions you do control, taking into account the range
of potential outcomes for factors you don’t control.

One model does it
all

With a single model you can optimize your decisions while taking uncertainty into
account. The result is a more realistic model that helps you make better decisions.

Define recourse
decisions

Many real-world situations involve both decisions that you must make "here and now", and
decisions you can make on a "wait and see" basis, after all or part of the uncertainty is resolved. Only Analytic Solver enables you to include both types of decisions in your model -- which often results in different and
better decisions "here and now."

Multiple ways to solve

Only Risk
Solver Platform has built-in support for simulation optimization, stochastic programming, and robust optimization for
models with uncertainty, offering multiple Solver engines for each of these methods. Products that support only simulation
optimization cannot handle large-scale optimization models with uncertainty.

The speed you
need

Analytic Solver's optimization and simulation speed advantage is even greater when solving
these more complex, and useful, models.

Single interface

Analytic Solver has a
single integrated interface for simulation, conventional and stochastic optimization, and decision trees, so you can
access every feature and see your entire model at a glance.

The Best Technology for the Best Solutions

At the heart of Analytic Solver is the combination of our advanced Solver Engines and our proprietary PSI
Interpreter -- which automatically performs Monte Carlo simulation trials in parallel, algebraically analyzes
your formulas, delivers model structure information crucial for advanced optimization algorithms, computes
function gradient and curvature results with maximum speed and accuracy, and
fully exploits multiple processor cores. This is advanced technology no one else can offer --
and we make this advanced technology easy -- even automatic -- for you to use.

At up to 100x faster than competing alternatives thanks
to our super-fast, proven accurate PSI Interpreter, you'll spend less time watching your simulation run, and more time analyzing results.

Build decision trees

Build multi-stage decision trees with point-and-click ease, and modify them right in
Excel.

Simulate over trees

Add probability distributions and run
simulations, to see the true range of outcomes for each decision alternative.

Full sensitivity
analysis

See how your optimal decisions change as you vary the chances and payoffs across multiple
outcomes.

Unlimited size optimization models

Handle
problems with up to 8,000 decision variables (40 times larger than the Excel Solver) using built-in Solver engines, and
virtually unlimited size problems with optional plug-in Solver engines (PDF).

Wizards and Guided Mode

Our
Constraint Wizard helps you think about and define constraints. Guided
Mode helps you better understand your model, refine it for better answers in less time, and find and correct any errors.
When you're up to speed, Auto-Help Mode gives you expert help only
when you encounter an error.
